Intense rainfall in Satna caused the Chakar and Chahla Nala culverts on the Majhgaon‑Pahadi Khera stretch to collapse, halting vehicular movement.
Heavy rain swept across Satna district, overwhelming local drainage systems. On the Majhgaon‑Pahadi Khera road, the culverts that carry the Chakar and Chahla Nala streams gave way, creating large gaps in the roadway.
The breach has forced motorists to seek alternative routes, as the affected stretch is a key connector for commuters and transport vehicles.
District authorities have dispatched engineering teams to assess the damage and begin temporary repairs. Officials warned that the situation could worsen if rainfall continues, and they have urged residents to avoid the area until the road is cleared.
Work on permanent reconstruction is expected to start once the water level recedes and safety clearances are obtained.
